Roth throwbacks to be an annual tradition when hosting USC or UC Los Angeles

Ryan Gorcey of Scout is announcing that the partnership between Under Armour and the California Golden Bears is resulting in a new tradition for the Joe Roth Memorial Game—the annual game in Berkeley against either the USC Trojans or the UC Los Angeles Bruins.

The uniforms -- replicas of those worn by quarterback Joe Roth during the Bears' Pac-8 co-championship season of 1975 -- will be worn on Sat., Sept. 23, in Cal's third home game of the season, against USC. The uniforms will be worn every season against whichever Los Angeles team -- USC or UCLA -- plays at Memorial Stadium for the annual Joe Roth Memorial Game.

Mayhaps the the excitement around the throwbacks will fade a little if we wear them annually, but it will be a great way to honor Joe Roth.

As a CGB-specific note, this means we’ll be getting Roth jerseys for our annual Bryan Harland Memorial Game. Cal Band Great!
